I can say quite categorically that Christopher Shackleton in question is not related to the famous Sir Ernest. His roots go back to the Todmorden area in the late 18th century.

No doubt, but it's interesting to note that Shackleton's Yorkshire ancestors were from Keighley before moving to Ireland leaving some of the family behind.
Skewis (Wales and Scotland), Ayers (Maidenhead, Berkshire), Hildreth (Berkshire)
